I have no idea what I should be doing. I want to write. Make a dozen or so quality articles. Make a portfolio, apply for jobs, and start earning. Make a following on Medium, and maybe earn from there too.
I know it's commonly said that "writers don't make much", but I don't need much from this, either. I just want to start earning. It's just going to be a side hustle.
But I don't know what I should write. I honestly have no idea. You need to write what there is a demand for to make cash, of course. There are some things that I am interested in that may be worth exploring. Psychology, mental health, self-help, men's health, digital marketing, maybe talking about my own experiences in life. I feel like I usually don't know enough to write about something unless it's literally my own experience (which may or may not be a profitable/popular niche). Maybe there's a whole bunch of different things I could try. I really don't know yet... yet to switch around from these posts would feel like I'm being very inconsistent? Maybe I should just mess around for a while and find out?
I don't want to do tonnes and tonnes of research everytime I sit down to write, and I don't want to feel awful while writing. Things that are complicated or boring tend to make me feel like that. I'm not completely sure. I know I don't necessarily need to be "passionate" to succeed or "enjoy" what I write about, I just don't want to feel so opposed to it.
PS: I did enjoy writing some/half of my articles. It's just trying to rush and feeling lost and confused that kind of ruins it for me. And if I don't know what to write or do, I won't even write anything sometimes, which isn't any better. It's annoying.
